5 years ago Not a problem with the driver or this code. The solution is to include in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf: [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no restart Network Manager: sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service sudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service
Network Manager asks for authorization repeatedly (up to five or six times) after reboot. The connection is only successfully connected after sudo systemctl NetworkManager restart or nmcli con up [connection] is repeated several times ignoring the password dialogue. Once the connection is established the device works as expected with good speeds.
